Leicester are set to kick off their summer transfer window with a huge double signing.

The Guardian claims a deal has agreed for Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumaré from Lille for €23m (£19.8m).

And the Foxes are also closing in on Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard.

Brendan Rodgers brought the talented forward to Parkhead while he was in charge of the Bhoys.

Arsenal had shown an interest in the 23-year-old but Leicester are now expected to acquire his signature.

Leicester will reportedly pay £18m to sign Edouard.
